Damon Williams
Damon has lived with sickle cell disease most of his life, carrying it quietly, without complaint. This year, he made a decision most people never get the chance to make. He said yes to gene therapy. He is mid-treatment right now, in St. Louis. He didn't have to share this. He chose to. Your support makes sure he doesn't walk this road alone.

Teara Norris
Teara is a mother of two and a brand-new grandmother. While preparing for stem cell collection, the first stage of gene therapy, her first grandchild was born. Her boys and her granddaughter are her why. She has completed collection and is now in the waiting period. Your gift walks with her through it.
Their cells are in a lab right now. The next stage is still weeks away.
SCA walks with them through every day of the wait.
Choose the amount that feels right for you. No gift is too small.
Support The Warriors
Every gift goes directly to families fighting sickle cell disease right now.
